Impact Student Ministry is changing the lives of Middle and High School Students
by introducing them to a growing and active life with Christ.
The above statement isn’t just a catchy slogan, it’s what IMPACT is all about. A life with Jesus Christ is exciting, challenging, and the most rewarding experience a person can have and we want to introduce and encourage middle school and high school students to begin and develop that kind of life. Our ministry can be summed up in 4 words: Gather, Group, Give, and Go. We desire to see student prioritize gathering together for community and fellowship. We want to help them grow in discipleship through small groups. We want to help students find way they can give back to God in serving and ministry to others. Lastly, we want to equip students go as they live on mission and to take the gospel into our community and around the world.
By being a part of IMPACT, you’ll be a part of a group of your peers who are developing that same relationship with Christ. You can expect to be a part of fun and meaningful youth worship events, deeper discussion in a smaller group of students your same age, and lots of other opportunities for special events like worship events, mission trips, retreats, and other monthly special activities.
Grow Groups
Sunday Mornings at 9am
Grade-based fellowship groups that “do life together.” You may talk about what’s happening at school, the application of the teaching focus for the week, pray for and with each other, do mission work together, and just have a great time!
Small Groups
Wednesday Evenings at 6:30pm
Our mid-week small groups are a chance for students to gather together to hear a short biblical lesson, then they are broken up into age and gender-specific groups where they make practical applications and experience biblical community together.
Converge
Monthly on a Sunday Evening at 5pm
Converge is a corporate worship event specifically designed for Middle and High School students. Students are encouraged to invite their friends that may not normally go to church. Each service includes music, prayer, games, and a time of opening God’s Word.
PARENTS: We require that students participating in off-campus activities have an annual Medical Release Form filed with the Church Office. This form provides important medical information and serves to protect both your student and the church in the unlikely event of an emergency medical situation. If the student is under 18 years of age, this form must be notarized. For your convenience, we will be organizing opportunities for you to meet with a notary here at the church.
Upcoming Events and Activities
**If finances are keeping a student from participating in an event, please email Evan. We do not want a student to miss out on an event due to finances**

March
27th-29th – REACH Student Conference 2026
REACH Conference operates a bit like a weekend retreat — except you don’t have to leave town! Students will be assigned to a host home from Providence Baptist Church with other students of their same age and gender. At these homes they will engage in Bible-based discussions facilitated by leaders within the church and community; have down-time goofing off with their peers; have some home-cooked meals; and perhaps even a little bit of sleep at night! Groups then come together at Providence for large-group worship (featuring live and exciting music) and Bible study sessions.
Choosing to stay overnight in a host home is strongly encouraged but is optional, and students can still participate in the weekend even if they do not feel comfortable staying in a host home.
The Theme for REACH 2026 will be announced at Converge on Jan 25th, and you can register after that date!
